One of my clients recently had her second child. My first session was when their first born was three months old. It was early spring and warm enough to photograph outdoors. Now their son is a lively two year old as they welcome his new sister into their loving family. Dad took him outside to [...]

As soon as I put up my work at the Textile Arts Center I realized the connection my work has with arts that have quality in their materials and beauty in their design. Whether my work is done in silver gelatin or the painterly methods of platinum or palladium, I work by hand. Platinum and [...]

This summer, which just recently turned to fall, has been incredibly busy for me. A lot of photography–weddings, maternity, very new babies, continuing photographing babies as they grow. Also continuing photographing in Vermont for the inner story of a place. My next few posts will catch up to the present.

In late March I did a maternity session for a wonderful couple. We went to the lake in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, one of their favorite haunts. A month and a half later, we repeated our session with their new baby. Here is a sampling of our photos.

When I can, I use natural light to photograph. Indoors the light can come from a window. Outdoors, of course, the light is always there whether it is a sunny or a cloudy day. I think it will be easy to see how the natural daylight has allowed these photographs of three lovely maternity couples [...]

The weather has finally shifted and there are lots of signs of spring. I have just heard the weather forecast for a weekend of rain. This doesn’t stop the opportunity for capturing wonderful photos of children. Children enjoy playing both indoors and outdoors. Here are photos from a rainy day weekend. This photo sequence, a [...]

Using the word ‘safari’ might seem strange for a walk in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY. However there are three families of swans along with many varieties of ducks, geese, and gulls in the lake in Prospect Park. Wikipedia has a good description of swans and their habitats. Swans usually do not battle each other for [...]

Telling the stories of our lives is best done with photographs that inspire our memories and bring back cherished times. Recently, I did many photos of a simple afternoon of an 8 month old. We chose outdoors–the Brooklyn Promenade and a nearby playground. These were everyday sites that his mom and nanny frequented with him. [...]

I like to think that a portrait, for use in conjunction with your business, should say more about you than a “head shot”. Recently when the colors of fall were at their most brilliant, I worked with Joyce of NYC School Help. The oranges, reds, and golden yellow were perfect for her business. Most people [...]

In addition to working with so many wonderful clients in 2009, I am pleased that recent artworks have been exhibited in two New York galleries. Earlier this fall one of my platinum palladium diptychs was exhibited as part of a juried show at Soho Photo Gallery in Manhattan. This work was part of my ongoing [...]
